I recently left a really long comment on a post by fellow AR mortgage professional Paul McFadden titled Correspondent lending. Will it go the way of the mortgage broker? It was a good post about his view on the future of correspondent lending. I often enjoy reading mortgage related posts from f...

Because of the dramatic rise in foreclosures, FHA has decided to temporarily waive one of its eligibility property requirements for certain distressed areas. Effective September 14, 2009, FHA has decided to waive the 90 seasoning requirement for FHA insured properties in NSP eligible areas. Thi...

I came across a post today by Jessica Horton titled, I may be a real 'twit', but I won't ever try to scare you into buying. Jessica writes about how she won't scare her clients into buying now simply because of the $8,000 tax credit. It was a good post and I enjoyed it, so much so, it inspired ...
